Teacher information: I have been sewing for the past 25 years and have loved it very much. Through these years I have had various businesses that included sewing for the public. I have been trained in basic sewing skills, quilting, pattern making, and smocking.  I have taught at homeschool co-ops in past years. I am a homeschooling mom to three wonderful kids.  I am excited about teaching the kids a new craft and hope that it will grow into something wonderful.
